Reena Rose Sibayan/The Jersey Journal ECG Cabot cyclists lead the way on a Grand Opening ride on the new portion of the East Coast Greenway which connects Jersey City and Newark through Lincoln Park and the Lincoln Highway Bridge on Routes 1&9.

On Friday, June 22, the East Coast Greenway Alliance held
a grand opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at Lincoln Park in Jersey
City to celebrate the bridging of
the greenway gap between Jersey City and Newark.

The gap closure now means that cyclists and pedestrians of Essex and
Hudson counties will be able to ride and walk more effectively and certainly
much more safely.

The new addition runs
from Lincoln Park in Jersey City, along Routes 1
& 9, and ending at Raymond Boulevard in Newark.
